Incorrect spelling, explanation: the English version of this word is spelled with the double -e and not the double -r, but it doesn’t match with its origin. Words often evolve over time, so it’s always a good idea to check how exactly they’re spelled. In this case, we have a double -e, because it matches the pronunciation of the word career. This is the only correct form. Carreer is a mistake.

Correct spelling, explanation: the noun career originates from French carrière and from Italian carriera, which is based on the Latin carrus (wheeled vehicle). As you can see, the previous spelling contained the double -r and not the double -e. The English version is different because the pronunciation is different. The double -e signifies the long -i sound. Nowadays, the only correct version is career, not carreer.
